Comments on: Los Angeles earthquake chokes phone calls, not Twitter

When a 5.4 magnitude earthquake strikes and phone lines get jammed, it seems Twitter and texting may be the way to go.

My experience suggests that in a disaster, it may be easier to phone a thousand miles away than to phone next door. If all circuits in your area are over-loaded, it may be easier for you to get an outbound connection than both an outbound and an inbound connection at the same time. For that reason, it's probably a good idea to have an emergency contact in another state.

This is why I prefer VOIP congestion does not affect VOIP as long as you have a solid connection. However if you are using a cable modem or WiFi Voip is most likely your worst enemy.
